IH 9670 Trailer Toter "Paint Done"

Well here is a project I started about 8 months ago after seeing a really nice looking IH 9670 Toter at the flying J so I wanted to build one but since I did not have any picks I did not get too far on the build at the time but a rolling frame and a shorten body. Well after tons of Ball Busting by dear old Dad aka Freddy and seeing Izzy's toter and I also started doing some repair work for a local mobile home company this week and got to look over there 4 Fords really close I started into it again. After changing the length of the frame 3 times in one week and MORE Ball Busting by DAD for picks last night and today I got it right I think.

So here is were I ended up late last night..

So now I think I am finally were I need to be to get the look right so I started on the bed of the Toter..

Next the back wall and the locker under the tire rack.

Next the sides out of .80 and the locker door.

Here is a shot of the C Channel I used to make the side stronger.

Another shot of the the back with the tread plate on the bed and a hunk of brass C Channel.

Other side done.

Now the cab is lowered and I also cut down the stock stack and took a stock tank and removed the top step off the tank and mounted them. And in the bed added the 2 lower supports that make the frame stronger for the pogo stick i am going to try to make work. So here is were I finished tonight..

Now I have to do the tank and the stack for the other side tomorrow but let me know what you think...

Re: IH 9600 Trailer Toter

I agree with Dad!! Sleeper needs to be shorter if not gone completely. I have a place that sells these within 10 minutes of me. I DID have plans to make one out of a King. Now I don't know???? Will wait to see what yours looks like.

I think for short runs. I think you should build one but I have never seen a pete all IH and Fords unless they are twin screws then most of them are Freightshackers.

Re: IH 9600 Trailer Toter

Stopped at the toter dealer. They had 1 IH, 1 Fruitliner, & 2 Sterlings setting on the lot. None of them had sleepers. No COE's either. All of them seemed a lot shorter than what you are building. All of them had about 11.5' wheelbase and only 1 exhaust stack.

You are doing fine Paul. The guy who moved my brothers trailer out so we put in the house had an old JB Hunt cabe over shrtened to a single axle and it still had the full sleaper on it.

Well............,I'm so........sorry! Didn't mean to squeeze no grapes. Have seen a few toters in my day,SON! To me it just looks like sleeper is a bit to long yet.Most of the ones I've seen are day cabs.But have seen them with tiny sleepers on the thruways. Now the way I see's it,is you no like'a my drom boxes.I no like'a big sleepers on toters:p:p:D

The very fun thing is they are all 9670 Internationals which is what the globeliner is based on. ENJOY

Re: IH 9600 Trailer Toter

OK now that we have determined that you know what you are talking about make sure you get two major components on the toter.

The wide rearview mirrors and the 6ft adjustable ball on the back. Remember you are pulling something that is 12 to 16 ft wide.

Re: IH 9600 Trailer Toter

Cool build Paul. I think it looks just right. I used to see a lot of these cruising around in my neck of the woods. I'm located between a few modular home builders, and they used to drive past a lot, pulling half a house, but I have not seen any for a long time now. Anyway, it's looking really good. I think the body in back of the cab looks especially nice.

Before
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...cowboy/033.jpg

After..Now it matches the bottom of the cab I also trimmed it out around the top of the sides edge.

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...wboy/003-2.jpg
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...wboy/004-2.jpg

Also I copyed the way the mirrors were mounted in a pick of a real one and I made them out of brass and they slide out to a width of 16 inches..

In..

Re: IH 9670 Trailer Toter

Looks good Paul , don't give up on the dremel I did that a couple times . pull the brushes make sure they slide . mine gets stuck when it gets hot . sometimes you have to pull it apart and clean the ( don't know the part name) section where the brushes are so it's a nice shinny copper again .

Paul if it's all right - I'm gonna have to sue your mirror mount idea - Ive tried to solder my mirror brackets to the tube twice and broke every time.....nice engineering!

Overall looks really good - I'll have a nice suprise for you come St. Louis!

Re: IH 9670 Trailer Toter

I got most of the Jack made tonight for the back of the truck.. It will be able to lift around 4 inches or better high. It is built out of alum and then has a derlin shim on the inside so it slides freely up and down. I will have a spring pulling down and use a winch hid under the be to pull up one the sled the hitch is hooked too. So here is what i have..

Re: IH 9670 Trailer Toter

I agree with Freddy but I forsee a problem. You might want to make the moveable hitch piece out of delrin instead of just a shim. Any type of pressure on it with metal to metal contact will cause it to bind.
Oh ya, where is the side to side movement mechanism? Ones I looked at had this plus in and out controls.:rolleyes:
